What are Cold Start and Hot Start in Cars?

[RonanRose]

Cold start refers to starting the engine when the coolant is at a low temperature. Hot start refers to starting the engine when the coolant is at a high temperature. Below are detailed explanations of cold start and hot start in cars: 1. Cold Start: A cold start occurs when the engine is started with low coolant temperature. Precautions for cold starting a car include checking the battery casing for electrolyte leakage, verifying battery voltage, and inspecting electrolyte specific gravity and fluid level height. 2. Hot Start: A hot start in a car refers to starting the engine shortly after it has been turned off, when the engine temperature remains near normal operating levels with minimal drop, and when the oil on engine friction surfaces hasn't drained back while the oil film is still present.
